Tunnel Containers
The most important characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as they can be divided by constructing walls to divide them. We have also helped customers make use of them to house plant machinery and offer secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors on both sides. These containers are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items on both ends.
The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that would otherwise need to be backed in and out of the container. The double-end access also eliminates the need to unload the entire container in order to access the goods that are stored within, which can be time-saving and minimizes the risk of causing damage during transport.
This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used to meet a variety of transportation and storage needs and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. They are made of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel and can endure the toughest weather conditions.
If you're looking for a safer option, we can weld steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can use bulkheads to separate customers' belongings in different areas, which increases security. Our double-end door containers are very popular for large events as ticket entry points because they can handle long lines of people and keep them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means they can easily be stacked or lifted from the corners of each side. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which allows them to be used for storage all year round.
We can make tunnel containers with custom sizes to meet your precise requirements if you require an additional bespoke solution. We can manufacture containers in double-sided and single-sided versions, as well as different lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will cost more than a standard shipping container, so we recommend choosing the size that is closest to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most hazardous products like explosives or flammable liquids should be handled at the right temperature. Temperature fluctuations can affect their stability, and could cause a fire or release toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
Sometimes the fluctuations are difficult to detect, particularly during the midst of a busy workday. Container terminals need a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This allows staff to react quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are situated at both ends of the container which makes it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects like machinery and vehicles.

Some container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances for their site, installing a turnstile as people pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in a standard size but they are easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are cost-effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a new "one-trip" condition because their owners design them specifically for a specific use and then retain them. They are highly sought-after by those looking to expand their warehouse or business without having to invest in new refrigeration equipment. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.
Convenient Storage

These containers come with double doors on both sides of the container, unlike traditional dry storage containers that have one door at the end. This means you can get into your storage container from either side which allows for more convenient access and faster loading and unloading of items.
This dual entry point is especially useful when storing items that require frequent access, such as machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to reverse your vehicle into and out of the storage container continuously and risk damaging both the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also make use of a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a certain temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are ideal for this as they feature temperature control that keeps the contents at a certain temperature.
In addition to offering easy access, a tunnel container is a great solution for a garage or workshop as it permits you to easily access all areas of your workspace without the need to move anything around. The two doors at the ends let you move into and out of your storage container quickly, if necessary.
